Something about Tiger Woods staying on his yacht provides endless fascination for The Forecaddie, particularly given the Montauk Yacht Club’s 33-mile distance from Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. In past U.S. Opens here, Woods said he stayed nearby. He claimed in Tuesday’s U.S. Open media session that staying north of the course makes traffic “so much easier,� though The Man Out Front checked and Woods faced an hour-long drive back following his presser. Locals insist Woods has to be helicoptering to the course given the length of his drive, and The Forecaddie hears Woods made a healthy offer to rent one of Sebonack Golf Club’s incredible members cabins following a recent visit. But the club’s lodging
Three players in the PGA TOUR University top-15 are in the top-10 after the first round of the NCAA Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club. Puwit Anupansuebsai (9th/San Diego State), Jonathan Brightwell (13th/Oklahoma) and John Pak (1st/Florida State) each shot 2-under 68 and are two strokes behind leader Cole Bradley (96th/Purdue). Anupansuebsai has top-two finishes in each of his last four starts, including back-to-back wins at the Mountain West Championship and the Kingston Springs Regional. His first-round 68 was his 13th consecutive round of par or better, and he has improved from 53rd to 9th in PGA TOUR University since the start of the calendar year. Brightwell and Pak continued their stellar springs on Friday, as well. A graduate transfer from UNC-Greensboro, Brightwell has five top-10s in eight starts this spring and is No. 13 in the U Ranking after starting the year No. 29. Pak has led PGA TOUR University from start to finish, and he has posted seven consecutive top-10s entering his final event as a Seminole. As the individual leaderboard changes this weekend, so will the PGA TOUR University projections as players vie for a top-15 finish. Based on the NCAA Championship’s Power determined by WAGR, the individual NCAA Champion will receive approximately 24.76 points. Consequently, seven players are mathematically capable of improving into the top-15. *Mathematically eliminated from top-15 contention because their maximum final points average with a victory is less than 15th-ranked Jovan Rebula’s final points average (931.42). After the conclusion of stroke play, the top-15 players in PGA TOUR University will earn membership on either the Korn Ferry Tour or Forme Tour. • The top-five finishers will receive Korn Ferry Tour membership and will be exempt into all open, full-field events beginning with the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation (June 10-13). • Players finishing 6th-15th will receive Forme Tour membership, starting with the L&J Golf Championship at Jennings Mill Country Club in Watkinsville, Georgia (June 23-26). The final round of stroke play at the NCAA Championship will be live on Golf Channel from 5-9 p.m. ET on Monday, May 31.
Cam Davis (+190 for a Top 20) … The 27-year-old Aussie leads off what really is a pool of candidates for top-40 plays. The John Deere Classic is wide open, so simply multiply your units where most confident. He’s 2-for-2 with a scoring average of 69.25 at TPC Deere Run, but he’s still chasing his first top 50 in the tournament. In his last dozen starts this season, he’s connected for only two top 40s, but both were top 10s, and on relatively similar tests at that – Harbour (T3) and Colonial (T7). Ranging six feet, four inches, he has plenty of muscle, but he profiles strongest on par 3s and as a scorer. Sam Ryder (+350 for a Top 20) … On the surface for those who weren’t paying attention or don’t recall, his co-runner-up in his rookie debut at TPC Deere Run in 2018 was akin to sharing B-flight honors. That was the edition during which Michael Kim established the tournament records in scoring (27-under 257) and margin of victory (eight strokes). It nonetheless was invaluable to Ryder’s comfort level on the PGA TOUR, but his ace at the par-3 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale earlier this year easily is his most memorable moment for fans. Even so, he’s cashed in all three trips and owns a scoring average of 67.92 in his 12 loops of the par 71. While he’s 95th in the FedExCup, he’s scuffled in his last 10 tries in individual competition, so the JDC arrives at a time when he needs a boost. Kevin Chappell (+450 for a Top 20) … When he failed to meet the terms of his Major Medical Extension during the same WM Phoenix Open where Ryder made history, he tumbled into the Past Champions category and admitted that he wasn’t sure what his future held. Well, with his 36th birthday on the horizon (July 8), he’s stayed active enough not to rule out a continuation of the lifestyle that he knows best. He’s added a pair of top 20s and sits 182nd in the FedExCup to at least give himself a great chance to qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. One more solid performance would cement entry at worst, and it stands to reason that it will be an early birthday present at TPC Deere Run where he’s 3-for-3 with a T8 in his last appearance in 2015. Kelly Kraft (+500 for a Top 20) … Like Chappell, Kraft also fell short on his medical extension (at the Valspar Championship) but he’s fully exempt as a Korn Ferry Tour Finals graduate, so it specifically didn’t slow him down. His form in general has been suspect for most of the season, but he landed in the Quad Cities with four cuts made in his last five starts, two of which for a top 20. Leads the PGA TOUR in conversion percentage inside 10 feet, so no one is more dangerous to prevail in a putting contest. However, he’ll need to dial in his irons so as not to put too much pressure on his sharpest weapon to score. With a 4-for-4 slate at TPC Deere Run, he knows his way around the property to optimize all facets of his game right now. Scott Brown (+450 for a Top 20) … Call it a risk or call it shrewd, but don’t base the decision on the result. The 39-year-old is 210th in the FedExCup. He’s also 78th in Korn Ferry Tour points. KFT members who also are exempt on the PGA TOUR are in week-to-week mode to determine where they want to focus their efforts. With only five KFT events remaining to determine the top 25 who earn 2022-23 PGA TOUR cards and the top 75 eligible for the KFT Finals, every week is critical. Because he’s not fully exempt on the PGA TOUR, he could be in Colorado for the KFT’s The Ascendent presented by Blue. However, that he’s opted for TPC Deere Run is obvious. He hasn’t missed an edition since splashing in 2012 and has recorded three top 10s and another four top 25 in nine starts. Last year’s T4 occurred during an extended slump that would define his demotion to Past Champion status this season. Fresh off a T10 at the Live and Work in Maine Open, he’s actually at the center of converging trends, too. Odds were sourced on Tuesday, June 28, 2022. For live odds, visit BetMGM .
